My Ink Is Running Low

My ink is running low It doesn't want to flow My rhymes are stuck In a muck My muse must be sleep She hasn't said a peep What am going to do? I haven't got a clue My ink is running low It doesn't want to flow Is my muse there? If so where? Am I writer without a muse? If so what is the use I think must go find another A muse like no other Maybe I can go to an ancient place And meet a new muse face to face Or maybe I'll wait she awakes It's still early for goodness sake 12-3-16 Alexis Y

Wonderful poem, Alexis. Top shelf 7 for me. Cool creative introspection, every poet/poetess goes through this phase. Love this thoughtful poem. Should it read ... maybe I'll wait til she awakes. Dunno, just asking. Love your work as always. You're a fine talented poetess, dear. Love always. RW

Fun poem. I have felt the same way sometimes. Mine tends to wake up when I get outside.

Hi Alexis. Yes, still early, and muses have to have a little fun too. I saw your muse at midnight, riding the rollercoaster in reverse. The smile on her face said she'd soon return to you, fuller than ever.
